An Evening of Food, Fun, and Learning
This wasn’t just another party. True to Plattershare’s philosophy of experiential learning, the evening combined delicious food with knowledge-sharing.
On 25th March 2018, eminent food bloggers from Bangalore gathered at Gorilla Barfare to enjoy the “Cocktail and Pizza Party.”
Ambiance: Rustic, Lively, and Inviting
The moment you step into Gorilla Barfare, the upbeat and lively ambiance immediately draws you in. With both indoor and outdoor seating, you can enjoy a hot summer afternoon or a breezy evening in the same space.
- Wooden furniture and dim lighting create a soothing environment.
- Hanging planters add a rustic, earthy charm.
- The highlight: a fire-wood pizza oven that fills the air with the irresistible aroma of freshly melted cheese.
Whether you choose the thin crust Chicken Supreme or the classic Margherita, the ambiance perfectly sets the tone for an enjoyable evening.
Food and Drinks: A Feast for Every Palate
From quick bites like cheesy nachos, steamed chicken momos, chili pork, and chili beef, to signature cocktails such as Long Island Iced Tea and Margarita, the spread at Gorilla Barfare catered to all tastes.
Highlights included:
- Farm-fresh thin crust pizzas baked in a fire-wood oven.
- The option to build your own burger (BYOB) with bread, patty, and Indian sauces – including a unique Chettinad Burger to excite Indian tastebuds.
Plattershare invited its community of food bloggers, who not only enjoyed the feast but also engaged in interactive sessions, live demonstrations, and storytelling.

The evening was hosted by Rajeev and Khushboo, who warmly introduced guests to the specialties of Gorilla Barfare.
- Saswati Behera shared the fascinating story of how Margarita was invented.

Voices from the Guests
The event created a buzz among attendees, and here’s what some of them shared:
- Subhasini Gupta (MsSuSays): “We tried their perfectly curated Strawberry Margarita and Mojito featuring fresh produce. Both were unique and tasted good. The mixologist used sugar syrup infused fresh ice-slush instead of ice cubes – it gave the drink a good body and taste.”
- Srikanth Akula: “Gorilla Barfare is the first place in Bengaluru serving slush-based mocktails and cocktails. The cocktails here are a 5/5 presentation to feel! Special mention to the Irish Coffee – a must-try.”
- Pravin Menon: “Lots of interesting cocktails and a dessert pizza by Sai Priya as part of the #Plattershare gathering. The cocktails use fresh ingredients instead of syrups – fresh strawberries, watermelon, oranges, cucumbers – making them truly refreshing.”
- Punith Hede: “The pizza session by blogger Sai Priya was a unique experience. The dessert pizza with banana, strawberry, Nutella, and mint was remarkable.”
- Vishal Bharadwaj: “Loved the Irish Slush Coffees – haven’t found them anywhere else in Bangalore. The pizzas and bar bites were equally impressive.”
- Sundari Giri (Ladles and Spoons): “Momos, nachos, French fries, pizzas, and drinks were generously served by the very courteous staff. It was a delightful evening.”
- Samyak Nanda: “The Margarita cocktail demo and Nutella fruit pizza session were highlights. The thin-crust Margherita pizza was scrumptious. The ambiance and the vibe were just perfect.”
- Poornima Dinesh: “The fresh watermelon slush margarita and Irish coffee were unforgettable. I also enjoyed the spicy bar bites – chilly paneer, nachos, and corn went perfectly with the cocktails.”

The word ‘Pizza’ is what got my attention at first 😛 I liked the ambiance, the logo and the name “Gorilla Barfare”. Food was awesome too, I was particularly focused on pizzas as its my favorite food and they made them really good.
Meeting the owners, Khushboo and Rajeev was another good part, they were quite humble and very good hosts.
While Plattershare organizes the event, a lot of effort goes in inviting the guests, working with the home chef and the host of the place but what I really loved about the event was the wonderful host Khusbhoo and Rajeev whom I met on the Day. Khusbhoo has been a Plattershare member for a long time and so I knew her very well but When I met Rajeev and the way he hosted me it was overwhelming. Both of you guys are a great host and I wish lots of success to both of you.
We all remember the evil Villian Grodd from our time in the DC Universe! Even Flash, the fastest man alive, doesn’t like him.
Plattershare had invited us for a tasting session and we loved the experience (minus the Grodd experience – that’s who came to mind when we visited Gorilla Barfare in the busy streets of Koramangala on a Sunday evening).
We had a session on Cocktails, taken by Saswati Behera and on Fruit Dessert Pizza by SaiPriya.
The Food and the Drinks here are quite good.
We had the Margherita Slush and the Irish Coffee Slush, quite unique to this place.
Their wood-fired Pizza had an out-of-the-world experience.
We extend our gratitude to @Plattershare – The Social Media for food for extending an invitation to this event. They are a startup, focussed on getting together food bloggers, home chefs and the like!
Seems like an really interesting Cocktail & Pizza Party. I regret not able to join this time. Looking forward to attending the next session.
Its always tough for all of us to end a Sunday evening in the mist of glory and grief, (Glory of Sunday and Grief for the next up-coming day). In this haze what you require is a perfect evening to end it with.
Found the same in Gorilla Barfare in the event organized by Plattershare, None other than the members but the ambiance and food just complimented the eve as well.
In the galaxy of Bar’s in Bangalore, Gorilla has really marked up to worth recommending for, to friends and family.

Had a great time last evening at Plattershare’s ‘Margarita and Margherita’ event for bloggers and homechefs at Gorilla Barfare, the newly opened pub in Koramangala.
Refreshing, very summery margaritas using fresh fruits watermelon, strawberry and cucumber was mixed and shown live by the pub’s mixologist and the bubbly blogger Saswati Behera. This was then passed around for tasting.
Sai Priya brought a new twist to the pizza with sweet toppings of Nutella, banana, strawberry, mint. Oh boy, was this good! It was delicious.
Momos, nachos, French fries, pizzas, and drinks were generously making the rounds during the entire event, by the very courteous staffs at Gorilla Barfare.
Warm and friendly owners Rajeev and Khushboo have created a lovely ambience for the pub / sports bar. The logo of a cool Gorilla is everywhere inside the pub, from the crockeries, walls, washroom entrance.
The session had Plattershare discuss about their road map for 2018 and their recent tie up with Bigbasket to benefit food bloggers and homechefs to pursue their passion.
Thank you Plattershare for the invite.
Chao! until our next get together.
This event was really wonderful, We got to know many things about the cocktails moctails. And also learnt how to make good margaritas. Saswati bahera took us to whole new world of cocktails as she explained everything in detail about them. After that there was pizza session by blogger Sai priya, as she made her dessert pizza, which consisted of banana, strawberry, Nutella and mint toppings. I really liked the new kind of pizza, it had a unique and remarkable taste. I really enjoyed the event. Also Plattershare team’s big vision for food. Thank you Plattershare for the invite.
